It wasn’t shocking news to say the very least but it was news nonetheless on Wednesday when Notre Dame defensive end Adetokunbo Ogundeji announced he will be returning to Notre Dame for a fifth season.
Ogundeji came on late for Notre Dame this year, recording 4.5 sacks on the year and all of them coming in the final three games of the year. Two of those alone came against Boston College in what was to me the best game we’ve seen him play.
Ogundeji joins Daelin Hayes, Isaiah Foskey, Ovie Oghoufo, and Justin Ademilola in a strong defensive end grouping that should be a strength for the 2020 Fighting Irish.
We’ve got official word from Ian Book, Alohi Gilman, Tony Jones, Jr. and now Ogundeji. We still await Cole Kmet’s official decision after he statedhe planned on returning for his senior year during the fall.
